Content description.....

Here is a unique record of the Beetle's early evolution, chronicled by an English teacher who spent 20 years digging through untapped sources, including archives he discovered at Porsche. Despite the plethora of books on this evergreen car, most of his material has never previously been published. The book - illustrated with over 350 photographs and designes, most of them not seen since origination - covers the period from Porsche expose of 17 January 1934 until July 1945, with the final lists of experimental and test cars run by Porsche in Gmund, Austria.
